Crates 4 feet long, 2ft. 3in. -wide, 15 inches high will hold 

 fifteen pairs of fowls, or twelve pairs of ducks ; if used for ducks, 

 a partition should be run across the centre to prevent the ducks 

 rushing to one end and damaging each other. A crate for turkey 

 gobblers, 4 feet long, 2ft. Sin. wide, 18 inches high wUl hold 

 twelve gobblers, or twenty hen turkeys, or twelve geese. In 

 making these crates, the bottoms should be made close, and contain 

 straw or dry grass to protect the breasts of the birds. Zinc or 

 leather labels should be used, with name and address properly 

 painted on, and attached to each crate.
